Sometimes You Just can't Avoid it

Spoilers!

Not just in this post - it's what this post is all about.

Today I found out about the assassination of Captain America in Cap issue #25. This is the big event post Civil War and big news in the States by all accounts. So it gets widely covered on Comic Book Resources as they obviously figure everyone will know as all the media are covering it.

I really try to avoid spoilers if I possibly can, a task made harder as I take forever to read comics and am happy to wait until reading a complete story (I'm currently doing that with Planet Hulk). But the spoiler was in the title of theses news stories so I had no hope.

Now up till now I've not been collecting Cap so it shouldn't bother me much. But as Ed Brubaker is writing it and having enjoyed his Daredevil so much I've started picking up the trades. I was planning on picking up the regular series from issue 25 but it's likely to be sold out now. Bugger.

Well I plan on visiting Forbidden Planet tomorrow so we'll see if I can get a copy.

Update: Just after posting this I saw that the story is covered on BBC website. Perhaps it is news here after all!
